For hours now it seemed Ailyn remained huddled against the back wall of the cell he had been placed within. He had no idea what was happening, or what might become of him either at this point, but he did know that he was incredibly scared which might be the case with anyone who had been placed in such a situation as this. Keeping his legs bent upward now as he sat upon his bed, he wrapped his arms around his legs and kept his thighs pressed against his chest while starring down at the hard floor in front of him.
There were far too many noises echoing throughout the area for him to be able to concentrate on much of anything, but once he closed his eyes he tried his hardest to drain out the chaos. Some part of him wished he could be as calm as a few of the others around him, but he had no idea how they even kept their composure about them so well. Soon opening his eyes again, he lifted his head only a small bit so that he could see over the top of his knees, his gaze resting on the aisle that crossed just outside of his cell door.
